Your Smart Energy Tracker connects with your smart meter

and gives you lots of useful information about your energy

use. It can help you to:

You can carry your Smart Energy Tracker around the house,

switch o appliances as you go and see straight away how

that aects the amount of energy you’re using.

Important: Just make sure you put your Smart Energy Tracker

back on charge – if the battery goes ﬂat, it will take a couple

of days to re-load your historical energy usage.

If you stray out of range and lose your connection, bring the

Smart Energy Tracker closer to your Smart meter.

Here’s how to do it:

How to ﬁt

the battery

Remove the battery cover

The great thing about your new Smart Energy Tracker is that it

really lets you take control of your energy use. To help you do

that, you can set targets for your household and see how your

actual energy use measures up.

How do I set targets

for my usage?

When you set a target, your Smart Energy Tracker will set

a threshold which appears at the bottom of the screen.

Below target On target Over target

Your usage light also glows dierent colours to let

you know if you're under target (green), on target

(amber) or over (red).

So amber's the one to aim for. Or better still, green.

Set targets

and you can

quickly see

if your energy

use is on track

My energy

From the Home Page, press ‘OK’ to access the Main Menu.

Use the up/down arrows to select ‘Electricity’ or ‘Gas’, then

select ‘Daily Target’.

At the top of the screen, the ‘Source’ section will highlight

ﬁve dierent ways to set your targets.

Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the options

and press OK to go into your preferred target option:

Daily Budget: With this option you can set a target in £/p for the

day. The 'Set Target' section will be highlighted and you can use

the up/down arrows to change your target amount. Press and

hold the up/down arrows for faster increments or decrements.

Once you’ve entered your target amount, press ‘OK’ to conﬁrm.

For guidance on the sort of ﬁgure you should be aiming for,

see page 20.

Save 5%: This option works out how much you used yesterday

and sets a new target based with a 5% reduction in kWh.

Of course, this only works after you’ve used your Smart

Energy Tracker for at least two days.
